Chapter 29 Consolidation

At the end of 08, Somesaki Sakura, who had finished filming, finally returned to the long-lost AKB Theater. The members all gave her a warm welcome. I was a little surprised when I found a lot of unfamiliar and familiar faces.

"Are there so many graduate students promoted?"

Takahashi Nan paused after hearing these words, and his complexion became bad, while Atsushi Maeda and Haruna Kojima also looked a little sad.

"In November, five members of the team graduated together." Gao Qiaonan said bitterly.

After the performance of the sunflower group, the form of teamA and teamK performing separately in akb resumed, and in the last performance of the resurrection performance held by teamA, Narita Resa, Oe Mimi, Komaya Junmi, Tojima Hua and Naka Xilicai five people announced their graduation.

Although, from its establishment to the present, there have always been people who have graduated or quit AKB, but like this, it is the first time that five people, and all five of them are early members, announced their graduation together.

From the establishment of akb to the present, although there are new members joining, the relationship between the initial members is always different. We have spent the most difficult time together and helped each other, just like family.At this time, they suddenly heard that they were going to graduate, and all the initial members felt empty in their hearts.

Somesaki Sakura was not there at the time, but she could imagine the scene at that time, and for a moment, she was also a little sad. From the beginning to the present, and then to the future, how many people will be left to walk with such a long road?

"To be honest, when I think about the situation at that time now, I'm still quite sad. The person who was talking about being a lifelong friend just now left suddenly at this moment. The sadness is really beyond words." Shinoda Mariko said slowly.

"At that time, we couldn't help crying. Mi Jiang cried the most sadly." Gao Qiaonan looked at Mine Annan with an ugly smile on his face.

The relationship between Minami Minegishi and those five members is better. She is obviously still sad for the graduation of the members: "To be honest, I felt like teamA no longer existed at that time." Sakura Somesaki remembered that Christmas During the festival, all the other members received gifts from the fans, only Narita Resa and Minegishi Kusu did not get them. At that time, the scene of the two hugging each other and crying, now, no matter how sad it is.

"Oh, Sakura-chan finally came back, so let's not say such sad things. Come on, be happy, although some members have graduated, haven't we been here all the time?" Kojima Haruna suddenly said road.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Takahashi Nan also quickly said: "Yes, yes, although they have graduated, we can still keep in touch with each other often." After saying this, everyone's mood improved a bit.

While chatting, everyone's topic turned to Matsui Jurina, who Somesaki Sakura hadn't seen yet.

"Mr. Akihara said to me beforehand, 'This time you and Jurina will work hard as doublecenters', although at that time subconsciously nodded and said 'yes', but in fact, what I felt at the time was how to work hard Well." Atsushi Maeda talked about her feelings when she heard this from Yasushi Akihara, and she smiled: "Maybe members of the same age as Jurina may think more

No, I just thought 'I have a junior who is much younger than me' - at that time, I also thought of Sakura sauce, Sakura sauce was the same age as Jurina when she first joined the team, right?But then the fans made too many comparisons between the two of us, which bothered me a lot. "Atsushi Maeda looked at

Somezaki Sakura said suddenly.Somezaki Sakura smiled helplessly.

"I also thought of Sakura-chan at that time. I felt like when I first saw Sakura-chan, how could there be such a small girl. I thought I would be the youngest." Minegishi also laughed , she is one year younger than Atsushi Maeda and the others, "It turns out that Sakura-chan is two years younger than me and is in the same grade as me. I really don't know what to say."

With these two people speaking, the next few people simply talked about their thoughts when they first saw Somesaki Sakura, and even made a joke about Somesaki Sakura, which made Somesaki Sakura very helpless: "We are not here Are you talking about the new members? Why are you talking about me again?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then laughed together.

Later, on New Year's Day, Somezaki Sakura finally meets Matsui Jurina in person.The first thing she thought when she saw herself was: "What a small child." Then she was frightened by Matsui Jurina's actions. When the child saw Somesaki Sakura, she directly bowed at 90 degrees and said, "Hello, senior." , I am Matsui Jurina, please take care of me."

Somesaki Sakura was taken aback, and Matsui Jurina in front of her was not much better, and her heart was so nervous that she died.Before she joined ske, she knew this super popular senior in akb. She was very nervous in akb, but now she was even more nervous when she saw Somezaki Sakura.

Not everyone is very happy when they are hit on the head by a big prize. Most people react more with disbelief and panic.Matsui Jurina is no exception.She was very nervous when recording a single with akb members. "Obviously it's akb48's song, is it suitable for me to go?" "Will I have a good relationship with them?" "Can I sing and dance smoothly?" Many questions were crowded in Jurina's mind, and she kept asking them all the time when she was in akb. heart to do things.

After all, he is only an 11-year-old child, and not everyone looks as young as Somesaki Sakura and has an aunt's heart inside.

Seeing such a child standing here tremblingly saying hello, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is in his heart, it will dissipate, not to mention Somezaki Sakura has no dissatisfaction with Matsui Jurina.She smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Jurina-chan."

Matsui Jurina secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and stood up straight aside, not knowing what to say.

Knowing that she was still nervous, Somesaki Sakura didn't say anything to her, nodded at her and left.In the lounge, Endo Hiroshi was still waiting for her.

"The firm has listened to your own opinions, and agrees that they will not be accepting plays for you during these times. However, your schedule is not completely empty. Many magazines hope that you can shoot covers for them, and then the firm will return You have accepted three endorsements." Endo Hiroshi told her the general arrangement of Somesaki Sakura during this time.

Somesaki Sakura nodded and had no objection to the arrangement of the office.Due to her too many schedules last year, she had very little time to participate in akb performances, and she was absent from many activities in akb. This has caused dissatisfaction among many fans who came here especially for her name, and it is not good for her development in akb.Therefore, Somesaki Sakura suggested to the agency that unless it was a very good script, she should still focus on AKB's activities in the first half of the year.

Considering the recent rising popularity of akb, the firm nodded in agreement with Somesaki Sakura's opinion.

Since then, in addition to some magazine shooting and endorsement activities, Somesaki Sakura has focused on her career on akb.

For this, of course her fans are the happiest.While rejoicing, I participate in the lottery every day. If a fan is lucky enough to get a ticket for the performance that day, he will happily post it on the Internet, attracting the envy of a lot of people.

The fans were happy, and so was Somezaki Sakura.Re-feeling the support from the fans off the stage and the support of the fans at the handshake meeting, even though many scripts were pushed, Somesaki Sakura felt very good.

In March, akb released the No.3 single "Ten Years of Sakura".This single is also a graduation song with the theme of cherry blossoms, but this song does not describe the scene at the time of graduation, but the mood after the agreement to meet again 11 years later.Moreover, in addition to the CD, a music video is also included in the single, presenting a short story ten years apart in the form of a short play.

This single ranked No.3 on the Oricon weekly chart in the first week of its release, and its sales in the first week directly exceeded 15 copies, much better than the previous single. In the end, this single Qu broke the record of "Loud Diamond" with sales of nearly [-] copies.

During the promotion of this single, akb48 attended the "Cherry Blossom Viewing Party" hosted by the then Japanese Prime Minister Aso, and was also invited to support the Japanese team in the 09 World Military Championships.At the same time, it can also be seen at the handshake meeting of akb48 or various activities that the fan group of akb48 is stepping out of the circle of otaku, and the number of high school students and girls is increasing day by day.

After two years of travel, akb has finally stepped out of the small area of ​​Akihabara and officially started its journey to the whole country.When it debuted in the theater, it was just a small cherry blossom bud, and it has already bloomed for 7 minutes.

Then in April, 4 selected members of akb48 joined hands with Fuji TV's idol group idoling to form a limited group "akbidoloing" and released the single "Jiuyi!" Ranked second on the weekly list.

And in May, with the increasing popularity of akb, the tight 5 seats in the akb theater can no longer satisfy the hearts of fans.At this time, the operator decided to build a second theater, and from June, the second theater also began to perform.The second theater has about 250 seats, that is to say, a total of 6 fans can watch akb's performance every day, which can be regarded as the realization of the idea of ​​"idols who can meet".

AKB's popularity keeps rising, and the difference in popularity between each member is becoming more and more obvious, and the replacement of old and new members of AKB has also accelerated. At this time, AKB ushered in a real graduate, Mayi Oshima .

Most of the graduates from akb were due to injuries or unpopular members.And Oshima Mayi has firmly occupied the selection position since her debut in akb, and signed a contract with the established firm HORIPRO. She has excellent hosting and talking skills, and she can be regarded as the most foreign member of variety shows in akb at that time.

Therefore, many fans called her graduation "the first true graduation in the history of AKB". Rather than saying it is a graduation, it may be more appropriate to go solo.Although her graduation is sad, it also makes people a little happy, because she is for better development.

Mayi Oshima's graduation performance was held in April. In this "God Performance" concert held by NHK, everyone sent off Mayi Oshima together. When the sadness was too late, Shixin Togazaki Published a news that shocked the audience and members--the general election of akb4 popularity.
